reasonable judgment of the chief financial officer of the Borrower (regardless of whether those cost savings or operating improvements could then be reflected in pro forma financial statements in accordance with GAAP, Regulation S-X promulgated
under the Securities Act or any other regulation or policy of the SEC related thereto) attributable to the assets which are the subject of the Asset Acquisition or Asset Sale or other disposition and without regard to clause (4) of the definition of

(including the incurrence or assumption of any such Acquired Debt) occurred on the first day of the Four-Quarter Period. If such Person or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries directly or indirectly guarantees Debt of a third Person, the preceding
sentence shall give effect to the incurrence of such guaranteed Debt as if such Person or any Restricted Subsidiary of such Person had directly incurred or otherwise assumed such other Debt that was so guaranteed. 
  
 Furthermore, in calculating “Consolidated Fixed
Charges” for purposes of determining the denominator (but not the numerator) of this “Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio”:

thereafter shall be deemed to have accrued at a fixed rate per annum equal to the rate of interest on such Debt in effect on the Transaction Date; and 
  
 (b) notwithstanding clause (a) of this paragraph, interest on Debt determined on a fluctuating basis, to the extent such interest is
covered by agreements relating to Interest Swap Obligations, shall be deemed to accrue at the rate per annum resulting after giving effect to the operation of such agreements. 
  
 “Consolidated Fixed Charges” means, with respect to any Person for any period, the
sum, without duplication, of: 
  
 (a)
Consolidated Interest Expense; plus 
  

 12

Preferred Stock of such Person times (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is one and the denominator of which is one minus the then current effective consolidated federal, state and local income tax rate of such Person, expressed as a decimal;
provided that with respect to any series of Preferred Stock that was not paid cash dividends during such period but that is eligible to be paid cash dividends during any period prior to the maturity date of the Senior Unsecured Obligations,
cash dividends shall be deemed to have been paid with respect to such series of Preferred Stock during such period for purposes of this clause (b). 
  
 “Consolidated Interest Expense” means, with respect to any Person for any period, the sum of, without duplication: 
  
 (a) the aggregate of all cash and non-cash interest expense

 ARTICLE II 
  

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE ADVANCES AND THE LETTERS OF CREDIT 
  
 SECTION 2.01. The Advances. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make
a single advance to the Borrower on the Closing Date in Dollars in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment at such time. The Borrowing shall consist of Advances made simultaneously by the Lenders ratably according to their Commitments.
Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. 
  
 SECTION 2.02. Making the Advances. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.02(b), the Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day
prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances or on the first Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by
the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telex or telecopier. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in
writing, or telex or telecopier, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of the Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising the Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of the Borrowing and (iv) in the case
of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each Lender shall, before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the date of the Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending
Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of the Borrowing in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Lender and the other Lenders. After the
Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower by crediting the Borrower’s Account.

  
 (b) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances for the Borrowing if the aggregate amount of the Borrowing is less than U.S.$5,000,000 or Eurodollar Rate Advances if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate
Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.09 or Section 2.10; provided, however, that if the syndication under this Agreement has not been completed on or prior to the Closing Date then the Borrower may only select
Eurodollar Rate Advances with 7-day Interest Period until the earlier of (i) the date which is one month after the Closing Date and (ii) the date the syndication has been completed as shall be specified by the Joint Lead Arrangers in a notice to the
Borrower. 
  
 (c) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable
and binding on the Borrower. In the case of the Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or 
  

 39 









 expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of
Borrowing for the Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or
other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of the Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date. 
  
 (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of the Borrowing that such
Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of the Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of the
Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not
have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day
from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid or paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at such time under Section 2.06 to Advances
comprising the Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances denominated in Dollars. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute
such Lender’s Advance as part of the Borrowing for all purposes. 
  
 (e) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of the Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of the Borrowing, but no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of the Borrowing. 
  
 SECTION 2.03. Repayment of Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Advances on the Termination Date. 
  
 SECTION 2.04. Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon at least five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of
the Commitments; provided, however, that each partial reduction of the Facility (i) shall be in an aggregate amount of U.S.$5,000,000 or an integral multiple of U.S.$1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) shall be made ratably among the
Lenders in accordance with their Commitments with respect to the Facility. 
  
 (b) Mandatory. On the date of each repayment or prepayment of the Advances, the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders shall be automatically and permanently reduced, on a pro rata basis, by an amount equal to
the amount by which the aggregate Commitments immediately prior to such reduction exceed the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances then outstanding. 
  


 40 









 SECTION 2.05. Prepayments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon at least one Business
Day’s notice in the case of Base Rate Advances and three Business Days’ notice in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, in each case to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment,
and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the
aggregate principal amount prepaid at any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty; provided, however, that to the extent the Borrower makes a voluntary prepayment of any Advances within three (3) years after the Closing
Date, such prepayment shall be made with a premium such that the aggregate amount of such voluntary prepayment shall be in an amount equal to (1) 103% of the principal amount prepaid if such voluntary prepayment is made during the period from the
Closing Date through the first anniversary of the Closing Date, (2) 102% of the principal amount prepaid if such voluntary prepayment is made during the period from the first anniversary of the Closing Date through the second anniversary of the
Closing Date, and (3) 101% of the principal amount prepaid if such voluntary prepayment is made during the period from the second anniversary of the Closing Date through the third anniversary of the Closing Date; provided further that the
prepayment of any Advances made after the third anniversary of the Closing Date shall be made without premium or penalty. Each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of U.S.$3,000,000 or an integral multiple of U.S.$1,000,000
in excess thereof. If any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance is made on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Advance, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 9.04(c). Each such prepayment shall
be applied, at the option of the Borrower to the next four installments in order of maturity of the Facility and to such installments on a pro rata basis, subject to Section 2.05(b). 
  
 (b) All prepayments under subsection (a) shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the
principal amount prepaid. 
  
 SECTION 2.06.
Interest. (a) Scheduled Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following
rates per annum: 
  
 (i) Base Rate
Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (A) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in
arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full. 
  
 (ii) Eurodollar Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a
rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advances to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance plus (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears on
the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such
Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full. 
  

 41 









 (b) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and
the request of the Required Lenders, interest shall accrue on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and on demand, at a rate per annum
equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable under
the Loan Documents that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to
2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid, in the case of interest, on the Advance on which such interest has accrued pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and, in all other cases, on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i)
above. 
  
 (c) Notice of Interest Period and Interest Rate.
Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a), a notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 2.08 or a notice of selection of an Interest Period pursuant to the terms of the definition of “Interest Period”, the
Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each Lender of the applicable Interest Period and the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above. 
  
 SECTION 2.07. Agents’ Fees. The Borrower shall pay such fees as
may be agreed between the Borrower and the Agents from time to time. 
  
 SECTION 2.08. Conversion of Advances. (a) Optional. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date
of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Section 2.10, Convert all or any portion of the Advances of one Type into Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into
Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in
Section 2.02(b), no Conversion of any Advances shall result in Interest Periods other than as permitted under Section 2.02(b) and each Conversion of Advances shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments. Each such
notice of Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest
Period for such Advances. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. 
  
 (b) Mandatory. (i) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances, in accordance with
the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last
day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, be continued as a Eurodollar Rate Advance for a one-month Interest Period. 
  

 42 









 (ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (x) each Eurodollar Rate
Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (y) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until
circumstances giving rise to such Event of Default shall no longer exist. 
  
 SECTION 2.09. Increased Costs, Etc. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation after the date hereof or (ii) the compliance with any
guideline or request issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental authority, including, without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority (whether or not having the
force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender of agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.09, any such increased costs resulting from or
representing (x) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.11 shall govern) and (y) Excluded Taxes), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost; provided, however, that a Lender claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.09(a) agrees to use
reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased
cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender, shall be
conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
  
 (b) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation after the date hereof or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request issued or made after the date hereof by any central
bank or other governmental authority, including, without limitation, any agency of the European Union or similar monetary or multinational authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the amount of capital
required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender as a result of or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of such type, then, upon demand by
such Lender or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient
to compensate such Lender in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder. A certificate as to such
amounts submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
  
 (c) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent in writing, that the Eurodollar Rate for such
Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period (setting forth in the writing the nature and amount of such costs), the Administrative
Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, 
  

 43 









 whereupon, unless the Borrower offers to pay such increased costs to such Lenders, (x) each such Eurodollar Rate Advance
will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (y) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into such Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. 
  
 (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall
make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or
maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (x) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate
Advance and (y) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing
such suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that, before making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different
Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate
Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.09, the Borrower shall not be liable in any respect for any amounts incurred or accrued pursuant
to this Section 2.09 more than 180 days prior to the date on which notice of the event or occurrence giving rise to the obligation to make a payment under this Section 2.09 is given to the Borrower. 
  
 SECTION 2.10. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make
each payment hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off, not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in
same day funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i)
if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the Notes to more than one Lender, to such Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending
Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lenders and (ii) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender, to such Lender for the account
of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section
9.07(d), from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the
parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. 
  

 44 









 (b) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender and each of its Affiliates, if and to the extent payment
owed to such Lender is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a Lender, under the Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such
Lender or such Affiliate any amount so due. 
  
 (c) All
computations of interest shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, to the extent interest is determined based on the Base Rate, 365 or 366 days, as applicable), in each case for the actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent
manifest error. 
  
 (d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under
the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment
fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next
preceding Business Day. 
  
 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in
full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent
the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day
from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. 
  
 (f) If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations under the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan
Documents do not specify the Advances to which, or the manner in which, such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each Lender ratably in accordance with such
Lender’s proportionate share of the principal amount of all outstanding Advances then outstanding, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Advances or other Obligations owed to such Lender, and for application to such principal
installments, as the Administrative Agent shall direct. 
  
 SECTION 2.11. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by the Loan Parties hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.09, free and clear of 
  

 45 









 and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and
all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender and each Agent, taxes that are imposed on its net income (including branch profits taxes, minimum taxes and franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes) by
the country, state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, is organized or any political subdivision thereof or in which such Lender or such Agent (but not the Borrower) is engaged in a trade or
business and, in the case of each Lender, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (including branch profits taxes, minimum taxes and franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes) by the country, state or foreign jurisdiction of such
Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (hereinafter, “Excluded Taxes”) (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder
or under the Notes, other than Excluded Taxes, being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If a Loan Party shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any
Lender or any Agent, (i) the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that after such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums
payable under this Section 2.11) such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make all such deductions and (iii) such Loan
Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. 
  
 (b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from
any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or the Notes, or with respect to the transfer of Notes in accordance with the
provisions of Section 9.07 (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 
  
 (c) Each Loan Party shall indemnify each Lender and each Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including Taxes and Other Taxes, but not including Excluded Taxes, imposed on
the indemnity payable under this subsection (c)), imposed on or paid by such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto), provided,
however, that the Loan Parties shall not be obligated to make payment to the Lenders or any Agent (as the case may be) pursuant to this subsection (c) in respect of penalties, interest and other liabilities attributable to any Taxes or Other
Taxes, if (i) written demand therefor has not been made by such Lender or such Agent within 90 days from the date on which such Lender or such Agent received written notice of the imposition of Taxes or Other Taxes by the relevant taxing or
governmental authority, but only if one or more of the Loan Parties have not received a written demand or notice of the imposition of Taxes or Other Taxes from such authority and only to the extent such penalties, interest and other similar
liabilities are attributable to such failure or delay by such Lender or such Agent in making such written demand, (ii) such penalties, interest and other liabilities have accrued after the Loan Party had indemnified or paid an additional amount due
as of the date of such payment pursuant to this subsection (c) and are imposed because the Lender failed to deposit the indemnity payment with the applicable taxing or other governmental authority or (iii) such penalties, interest and other

  

 46 









 liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender or the Agent. This
indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or such Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor. 
  
 (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section
9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or, if such receipt is not obtainable, other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (e) In the case of payments made by the Borrower, each Lender organized under
the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a
Lender in the case of each other Lender, and in the case of any Lender, on or prior to the date the Lender changes its Applicable Lending Office, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long thereafter
as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two original Internal Revenue Service forms W-8ECI or W-8BEN (or successor form) (and, if such Lender delivers a form W-8BEN claiming the
benefits of exemption from United States withholding tax under Section 881(c), a certificate representing that such Lender is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, is not a 10-percent shareholder (within
the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of the Borrower and is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code). If a Lender is unable to
deliver one of these forms or if the forms provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement or at the time a Lender changes its Applicable Lending Office (other than at the request of one of the Borrower) indicate
a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon
withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such forms; provided, however, that if, at the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender becomes
a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) of this Section 2.12 in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall
include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date. If any form or document
referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN or W-8ECI (or the related
certificate described above) or any successor form, that the applicable Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, such Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such
confidential information. 
  
 (f) For any period with respect to
which a Lender has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form described in subsection (e) above (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be
provided or if such form otherwise is not required under subsection (e) above in respect of a 
  

 47 









 Lender assignee), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 2.11
with respect to Taxes imposed by reason of such failure; provided, however, that, should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Lender
shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes. 
  
 (g) Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.11 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Eurodollar
Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender.

  
 SECTION 2.12. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender
shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 9.07) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such
Lender hereunder and under the Notes at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and
payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the Notes at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) on account of
Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the Notes at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender at such time to (ii) the
aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the Notes at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders hereunder and under the Notes at
such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be
necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase
from each other Lender shall be rescinded and such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender to
(ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lenders) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total
amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered; provided further that, so long as the Obligations under the Loan Documents
shall not have been accelerated, any excess payment received by any Lender shall be shared on a pro rata basis only with other Lenders. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Lender
pursuant to this Section 2.12 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Lender
were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be. 
  

 48 









 SECTION 2.13. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and the Borrower
agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely to refinance a portion of the Tranche B Term Advances outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement and pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with such refinancing. 
  
 SECTION 2.14. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in
accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid
to such Lender from time to time hereunder. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is
required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender, with a copy
to the Administrative Agent, a Term Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the Commitment of such Lender. All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean
Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder. 
  
 (b) The
Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of the Borrowing made
hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising the Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due
and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof. 
  
 (c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register
pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such
Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 2.15. Offer to Prepay by Application of Prepayment Offer
Amount. In the event that the Borrower shall be required to commence a Prepayment Offer pursuant to Section 5.01(i), it shall follow the procedures specified below. 
  
 The Prepayment Offer shall remain open for a period of 20 Business Days following its commencement or such longer period as
may be required by applicable law (the “Offer Period”). No later than five Business Days after the termination of the Offer Period (the “Prepayment Date”), the Borrower shall prepay the Prepayment
Offer Amount plus any applicable premium as set forth below, except if Lenders holding Advances in an aggregate 
  

 49 









 principal amount less than the Prepayment Offer Amount have elected to accept the Prepayment Offer (each, an
“Accepting Lender”), in which case the Borrower shall prepay all Advances of such Accepting Lenders; it being understood that any Lender that shall not have given written notice (via telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or
letter) to the Administrative Agent declining the Prepayment Offer by 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the Prepayment Date (each, a “Declining Lender”) shall be deemed to an Accepting
Lender. Payment for any Advances so prepaid shall be made in the same manner as interest payments are made. 
  
 Upon the commencement of a Prepayment Offer, the Borrower shall send, by first-class mail, a notice of such Prepayment Offer to the Administrative Agent
and each of the Lenders, with a copy to the Administrative Agent. The notice shall contain all instructions and materials necessary to enable such Lenders to accept such Prepayment Offer pursuant to the Prepayment Offer. The Prepayment Offer shall
be made to all Lenders. The notice, which shall govern the terms of the Prepayment Offer, shall state: 
  
 (a) that the Prepayment Offer is being made pursuant to this Section 2.15 and Section 5.01(i) and the length of time the Prepayment Offer
shall remain open; 
  
 (b) the Prepayment Offer
Amount, the prepayment amount to be made to such Lender and the Prepayment Date; 
  
 (c) that the outstanding principal amount of Advances owed to any Declining Lender shall continue to accrue interest; 
  
 (d) that, unless the Borrower defaults in making such
payment, the outstanding principal amount of Advances owed to any Accepting Lender shall cease to accrue interest after the Prepayment Date and the only remaining right of such Accepting Lender is to receive the prepayment amount offered to be made
to such Lender pursuant to the Prepayment Offer; 
  
 (e) that Lenders electing to have a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Advances owed to such Lenders pursuant to a Prepayment Offer may only elect to have such principal amount prepaid in integral multiples of $1,000;

  
 (f) that Accepting Lenders shall be required
to surrender the Note or Notes, if any, held by such Lenders, at the address specified in the notice at least three days before the Prepayment Date; 
  
 (g) that, if the aggregate principal amount of Advances owed to Accepting Lenders exceeds the Prepayment Offer Amount, the Borrower shall
select the Advances to be purchased on a pro rata basis; and 
  
 (h) that Lenders whose Notes were prepaid only in part shall be issued a new Note or Notes in principal amount equal to the unpaid portion of the Notes surrendered in the name of the Lender thereof upon cancellation
of the original Note. 
  

 50 









 On or before the Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall, to the extent lawful, apply, on a pro rata
basis to the extent necessary, an amount equal to 100% of the Prepayment Offer Amount, in each case to Advances or portions thereof of the Accepting Lenders, or if Lenders holding less than the Prepayment Offer Amount have validly accepted the
Prepayment Offer, all Senior Unsecured Obligations or portions thereof of the Accepting Lenders, and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Officers’ Certificate stating that such Senior Unsecured Obligations or portions thereof were
accepted for prepayment by the Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.15. The Borrower, or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly (but in any case not later than five days after the Prepayment Date) mail or
deliver to each Accepting Lender an amount equal to the amount accepted for prepayment in respect of such Accepting Lender, and the Borrower shall promptly issue a new Note, if applicable, and the Administrative Agent, upon written request from the
Borrower shall mail or deliver such new Note to such Lender, in a principal amount equal to any unpaid portion of the Note surrendered. 
  
 SECTION 2.16. Increase in the Commitments (a) The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time prior to the Termination Date, by notice to the
Administrative Agent, request the addition of a new facility pursuant to an increase in the Commitments (each, a “Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the scheduled
Termination Date then in effect (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that (i) on the date of any request by the Borrower for a Commitment
Increase and on the related Increase Date, the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.02 and in clause (d) of this Section 2.16 shall be satisfied and, to the extent such Commitment Increase is to be used to finance a Permitted Acquisition,
the conditions set forth in respectively the definition of Permitted Acquisition shall be satisfied, and (ii) such new facility shall contain such other terms as may be agreed by the Borrower and the Agents. 
  
 (b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of a request
by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Commitment
Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Commitments (the “Commitment Date”). Each Lender that is willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase (each an “Increasing
Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment. If the Lenders notify the Administrative Agent
that they are willing to participate in a Commitment Increase by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Commitment Increase, the requested Commitment Increase shall be allocated among the Lenders willing to participate therein
in such amounts as are agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (c) Promptly following the applicable Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase.
If the aggregate amount by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase on any such Commitment Date is less than the requested Commitment Increase, then the Borrower may extend offers to one or more Eligible
Assignees to participate in any portion of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders as of the Commitment Date; provided, however, that the Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an
amount equal to at least U.S.$1,000,000. 
  

 51 









 (d) On the applicable Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a
requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.16(c) (each such Eligible Assignee, an “Assuming Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of the applicable Increase Date and the Commitment of each
Increasing Lender for such Commitment Increase shall be so increased by such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.16(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that the
Administrative Agent shall have received on or before the Increase Date the following, each dated such date: 
  
 (i) (A) certified copies of resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Borrower approving the applicable Commitment Increase and the
corresponding modifications to this Agreement and (B) an opinion of counsel for the Borrower (which may be in-house counsel), in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; 
  
 (ii) an assumption agreement from each Assuming Lender, if
any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (each an “Assumption Agreement”), duly executed by such Eligible Assignee, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; and 
  
 (iii) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the
increase in the amount of its Commitment in a writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. 
  
 On the applicable Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.16(d), the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Assuming Lender) and the Borrower, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), by telecopier or telex, of the occurrence of the applicable Commitment Increase to be
effected on the related Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Assuming Lender on such date.

(d) This Agreement has been, and each other Loan Document when delivered hereunder will have been, duly executed and delivered by each
Loan Party thereto. This Agreement is, and each other Loan Document when delivered hereunder will be, the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party party thereto, enforceable against such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, subject

transactions contemplated hereby, all in accordance with GAAP. 
  
 (h) Taken as a whole, neither the Information Memorandum nor any other information, exhibit or report furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to any Agent or any Lender in connection with the negotiation and
syndication of the Loan Documents or pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made therein not materially misleading.

complete and accurate and fairly presents the funding status of such Plan, and since the date of such Schedule B there has been no material adverse change in such funding status; 
  

 57 









 (C) Neither any Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred or is reasonably expected
to incur any Withdrawal Liability to any Multiemployer Plan; 
  
 (D) Neither any Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate has been notified by the sponsor of a Multiemployer Plan that such Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization or has been terminated, within the meaning of Title IV of
ERISA, and no such Multiemployer Plan is reasonably expected to be in reorganization or to be terminated, within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA; and 
  
 (E) With respect to each scheme or arrangement mandated by a government other than the United States (a “Foreign Government
Scheme or Arrangement”) and with respect to each employee benefit plan maintained or contributed to by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party that is not subject to United States law (a “Foreign
Plan”): 
  
 (1) Any employer and
employee contributions required by law or by the terms of any Foreign Government Scheme or Arrangement or any Foreign Plan have been made, or, if applicable, accrued, in accordance with normal accounting practices; 
  
 (2) The fair market value of the assets of each funded
Foreign Plan, the liability of each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded through insurance or the book reserve established for any Foreign Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide for the accrued benefit
obligations, as of the date hereof, with respect to all current and former participants in such Foreign Plan according to the actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used to account for such obligations in accordance with applicable
generally accepted accounting principles; and 
  
 (3) Each Foreign Plan required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities.

individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, the operations and properties of each Loan Party and each of its Subsidiaries comply with all applicable Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits, all past non-compliance with such
Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits has been resolved without ongoing obligations or costs, and no circumstances exist that could be reasonably likely to (A) form the basis of an Environmental Action against any Loan Party or any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their properties or (B) cause any such property to be subject to any restrictions on ownership, occupancy, use or transferability under any Environmental Law. 
  

 58 









 (ii) Except as otherwise set forth on Part II of Schedule 4.01(m) hereto, (a) none of the

financial information in accordance with the standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, i.e. SAS 100), including a “Management”s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” that describes the financial condition and results of operations of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries (showing in reasonable detail, either on the face of the financial statements or in the footnotes thereto and in
“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” the financial condition and results of operations of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries separate from the financial condition and
results of operations of the Unrestricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower) and, with respect to the annual information for fiscal years beginning with and including the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 only, a report thereon by the Borrower’s

the Borrower were required to file such reports, in each case, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations. 
  
 (c) Compliance Certificate. (i) The Borrower and each Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, within 90 days after the
end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to
determining whether the Borrower has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Agreement, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Borrower has kept,
observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this Agreement and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement (or, if a Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Borrower is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has
occurred and remains in existence by reason of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Senior Unsecured Obligations is prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the
Borrower is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. For purposes of this paragraph, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Agreement.

recommendations of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the year-end financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(b)(i) above shall be accompanied by a written statement of the Borrower’s independent public
accountants (who shall be a firm of established national reputation) that in making the examination necessary for certification of such financial statements, nothing has come to their attention that would lead them to believe that the Borrower has
violated any provisions of Sections 5.01 or 5.02 or, if any such violation has occurred, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof, it being understood that such accountants shall not be liable directly or indirectly to any Person for
any failure to obtain knowledge of any such violation.

 (d) Payment of Taxes and Other Claims. The
Borrower shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, (i) all material taxes, assessments and governmental levies levied or imposed upon (a) the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, (b) the income or profits of any
such Subsidiary which is a corporation or (c) the property of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary and (ii) all material lawful 
  

 61 









 claims for labor, materials and supplies that, if unpaid, could reasonably be expected by law to become a
lien upon the property of the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, except such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the Lenders. 

 
 (e) Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Borrower
and each of the Guarantors covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement; and the Borrower and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or
advantage of any such law, and covenants that it shall not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Administrative Agent, but shall suffer and permit the execution of every such power as

scheduled final maturity, scheduled repayment or scheduled sinking fund payment, any Debt of the Borrower that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Senior Unsecured Obligations; or 
  
 (iv) make any Investment (other than Permitted Investments)

  
 (each of the foregoing actions set forth in clauses (i),
(ii), (iii) and (iv) being referred to as a “Restricted Payment”)), if at the time of such Restricted Payment or immediately after giving effect thereto: 
  
 (A) a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; 
  
 (B) the Borrower is not able to incur at least $1.00 of
additional Debt (other than Permitted Debt) in compliance with Section 5.01(h); or 
  

 62 









 (C) the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments (including such proposed Restricted
Payment) made subsequent to the Closing Date (other than Restricted Payments made pursuant to clauses (ii)(A), (iii) through (xiii) of the following paragraph) (the amount expended for such purposes, if other than in cash, being the fair market
value of such property) shall exceed the sum, without duplication, of: 
  
 (1) 50% of the cumulative Consolidated Net Income (or if cumulative Consolidated Net Income shall be a loss, minus 100% of such loss) of the Borrower earned subsequent to the beginning of the first fiscal quarter
commencing after the Closing Date and on or prior to the date the Restricted Payment occurs (the “Reference Date”) (treating such period as a single accounting period); plus 
  
 (2) 100% of the aggregate net proceeds (including the fair market value of
property other than cash that would constitute Marketable Securities or a Permitted Business) received by the Borrower from any Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Borrower) from the issuance and sale subsequent to the Closing Date and on or
prior to the Reference Date of Qualified Capital Stock of the Borrower or other securities of the Borrower that have been converted into such Qualified Capital Stock; plus 
  
 (3) without duplication of any amounts included in clause (C)(2) above, 100% of the aggregate net cash proceeds of any
equity contribution received by the Borrower from a holder of the Borrower’s Capital Stock; plus 
  
 (4) 100% of the aggregate net proceeds (including the fair market value of property other than cash that would constitute Marketable Securities or a
Permitted Business) of any (A) sale or other disposition of any Investment (other than a Permitted Investment) made by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries subsequent to the Closing Date or (B) dividend from, or the sale of the stock of, an
Unrestricted Subsidiary of the Borrower made subsequent to the Closing Date. 
  
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph shall not prohibit: 
  
 (i) the payment of any dividend or the consummation of any irrevocable redemption within 60 days after the date of declaration of such
dividend or notice of such redemption if the dividend or payment of the redemption price, as the case may be, would have been permitted on the date of declaration or notice; 
  

 63 









 (ii) if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall
occur as a consequence thereof, the acquisition of any shares of Capital Stock of the Borrower (the “Retired Capital Stock”) either (1) solely in exchange for shares of Qualified Capital Stock of the Borrower (the

the case of subclause (1) of this clause (ii), if immediately prior to the retirement of the Retired Capital Stock the declaration and payment of dividends thereon was permitted under clause (iv) of this paragraph, the declaration and payment of
dividends on the Refunding Capital Stock in an aggregate amount per year no greater than the aggregate amount of dividends per annum that was declarable and payable on such Retired Capital Stock immediately prior to such retirement; provided
that at the time of the declaration of any such dividends on the Refunding Capital Stock, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a consequence thereof; 
  
 (iii) if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing or shall occur as a consequence thereof, the acquisition of any Debt of the Borrower that is subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Senior Unsecured Obligations either (1) solely in exchange for shares of Qualified
Capital Stock of the Borrower or (2) through the application of net proceeds of a substantially concurrent sale for cash (other than to a Subsidiary of the Borrower) of (A) shares of Qualified Capital Stock of the Borrower or (B) Refinancing Debt;

  
 (iv) if no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a consequence thereof, the declaration and payment of dividends to holders of any class or series of Disqualified Capital Stock issued after the Closing Date (including, without limitation, the
declaration and payment of dividends on Refunding Capital Stock in excess of the dividends declarable and payable thereon pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph); provided that, at the time of such issuance, the Borrower, after giving
effect to such issuance on a pro forma basis, would have been able to incur $1.00 of additional Debt (other than Permitted Debt) in compliance with Section 5.01(h) hereof; 
  
 (v) if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall occur as a consequence
thereof, the redemption or repurchase of the Borrower’s common equity or options in respect thereof, in each case in connection with the repurchase provisions of employee stock option or stock purchase agreements or other agreements to
compensate management employees; provided that all such redemptions or repurchases pursuant to this clause (v) shall not exceed $5,000,000 (with unused amounts in any fiscal year being carried over to succeeding fiscal years subject to a
maximum of $10,000,000 in any fiscal year) in any fiscal year (which amount shall be increased by the amount of any net cash proceeds received from the sale since the Closing Date of Capital Stock (other than Disqualified Capital Stock) to members

 64 









 Restricted Payments pursuant to the terms of clause (C) of the immediately preceding paragraph and by the
cash proceeds of any “key-man” life insurance policies that are used to make such redemptions or repurchases) since the Closing Date; provided, further, that the cancellation of Debt owing to the Borrower from members of management
of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with any repurchase of Capital Stock of the Borrower (or warrants or options or rights to acquire such Capital Stock) will not be deemed to constitute a Restricted Payment under
this Agreement; 
  
 (vi) repurchases of Capital
Stock deemed to occur upon the exercise of stock options if such Capital Stock represents a portion of the exercise price thereof; 
  
 (vii) all payments and transactions provided for in the Transaction Agreements (as defined in the Indenture) as the same are in effect on
the Closing Date; 
  
 (viii) distributions or
payments of Receivable Fees; 
  
 (ix) any

 (x) any other Investment made in a Permitted Business which, together with all other Investments made pursuant to this clause (x) since the date of this Agreement, does not exceed $5,000,000 (in each case, after
giving effect to all subsequent reductions in the amount of any Investment made pursuant to this clause (x), either as a result of (1) the repayment or disposition thereof for cash or (2) the redesignation of an Unrestricted Subsidiary as a
Restricted Subsidiary (valued, proportionate to the Borrower’s equity interest in that Subsidiary at the time of that redesignation, at the fair market value of the net assets of that Subsidiary at the time of that redesignation), in the case
of clauses (1) and (2), not to exceed the amount of the Restricted Investment previously made pursuant to this clause (x)); provided that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately after making that
Investment; 
  
 (xi) distributions to DEG
Acquisitions provided for in the Tax Sharing Agreement; 
  
 (xii) distributions to DEG Acquisitions to pay administrative and other operating expenses in an aggregate amount not to exceed $500,000 per fiscal year; and 
  
 (xiii) if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing or shall occur as a consequence thereof, other Restricted Payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $25,000,000. 
  

 65 









 In determining the aggregate amount of Restricted Payments made subsequent to the Closing Date in
accordance with clause (C) of the immediately preceding paragraph, (a) amounts expended pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii)(y) shall be included in such calculation, and (b) amounts expended pursuant to clauses (ii)(x) and (iii) through (xiii) shall be
excluded from such calculation. 
  
 (g)
Limitation on Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Restricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or otherwise cause or permit
to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or consensual restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower to: 
  
 (i) pay dividends or make any other distributions on or in respect of its Capital Stock; 
  
 (ii) make loans or advances or pay any Debt or other
obligation owed to the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower; or 
  
 (iii) transfer any of its property or assets to the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower, 
  
 except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

  
 (A) applicable law; 
  
 (B) the Notes or this Agreement; 
  
 (C) non-assignment provisions of any contract or any lease
of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower entered into in the ordinary course of business; 
  
 (D) any instrument governing Acquired Debt, which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets
of any Person, other than the Person or the properties or assets of the Person so acquired; 
  
 (E) the New Credit Agreement; 
  
 (F) agreements existing on the Closing Date to the extent and in the manner such agreements are in effect on the Closing Date;

 (J) any Purchase Money Note or other Debt or
other contractual requirements of a Securitization Entity in connection with a Qualified Securitization Transaction; provided that such restrictions apply only to such Securitization Entity; 
  
 (K) other Debt outstanding on the Closing Date or permitted
to be issued or incurred under this Agreement; provided that any such restrictions are ordinary and customary with respect to the type of Debt being incurred or Preferred Stock being issued (under the relevant circumstances) if the Board of
Directors of the Borrower determines that any such encumbrance or restriction will not materially adversely affect the Borrower’s ability to make principal or interest payments on the Senior Unsecured Obligations; 
  
 (L) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth
imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business; and 
  
 (M) any encumbrances or restrictions imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings,
replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (A) through (L) above; provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or
refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Borrower’s Board of Directors (evidenced by a Board Resolution) whose judgment shall be conclusively binding, not materially more restrictive with respect to such dividend and other payment
restrictions than those contained in the dividend or other payment restrictions prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing. 
  
 (h) Limitation on the Incurrence of Additional Debt.
The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee, acquire, become liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to, or otherwise become responsible
for payment of (collectively, “incur”) any Debt (other than Permitted Debt) and the Borrower will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Preferred Stock; provided, however, that if no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time or as a consequence of the incurrence of any such Debt, the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt) and
Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower may issue Preferred Stock, in each case if on the date of the incurrence of such Debt or issuance of such Preferred Stock, after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt or issuance of such Preferred
Stock, the Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Borrower would have been greater than 2.0 to 1.0. 
  
 (i) Limitation on Asset Sales. The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an
Asset Sale unless: 
  

 67 









 (i) the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, receives
consideration at the time of such Asset Sale at least equal to the fair market value of the assets sold or otherwise disposed of; 
  
 (ii) at least 75% of the consideration received by the Borrower or the applicable Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, from such
Asset Sale shall be in the form of Productive Assets, cash and/or Cash Equivalents and shall be received at the time of such disposition; provided that the amount of: 
  
 (A) liabilities (as shown on the Borrower’s or such Restricted Subsidiary’s most recent balance
sheet) of the Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary (other than liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Senior Unsecured Obligations) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets and for which the Borrower and its
Restricted Subsidiaries receive a written release from all creditors; 
  
 (B) any notes or other obligations received by the Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of the
receipt thereof (to the extent of the cash received); and 
  
 (C) any Designated Noncash Consideration received by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, when taken together with all other Designated Noncash
Consideration received pursuant to this clause (C) that is at that time outstanding, not to exceed 15% of Total Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Noncash Consideration (A) with the fair market value of each item of Designated
Noncash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value and (B) with respect to any Designated Noncash Consideration in excess of $50,000,000, the Board of Directors’ determination of
the fair market value of such Designated Noncash Consideration must be based upon an opinion or appraisal issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing, 
  
 shall be deemed to be cash solely for the purposes of this provision or for
purposes of the second paragraph of this Section 5.01(i); and 
  
 (iii) upon the consummation of an Asset Sale, the Borrower shall apply, or cause such Restricted Subsidiary to apply, the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale within 365 days of receipt thereof either:

  
 (A) to prepay any Credit Facility or any
Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not a Guarantor and, in the case of any such Debt under any revolving credit facility, effect a corresponding reduction in the availability under such revolving credit facility (or effect a
permanent reduction in the availability under such revolving credit facility regardless of the fact that no prepayment is required in order to do so), 
  

 68 









 (B) to reinvest in Productive Assets, or 
  
 (C) a combination of prepayment and investment permitted by
the foregoing clauses (A) and (B). 
  
 Pending
the final application of any such Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary may temporarily reduce Debt under a revolving credit facility, if any, or otherwise invest such Net Cash Proceeds in Cash Equivalents. On the 366th day
after an Asset Sale or such earlier date, if any, as the Board of Directors of the Borrower or of such Restricted Subsidiary determines not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Asset Sale as set forth in clauses (iii)(A), (iii)(B) or
(iii)(C) of the preceding paragraph and prior to the occurrence of the Prepayment Trigger Date (each, a “Prepayment Trigger Date”), such aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds which have not been so applied on or before such
Prepayment Trigger Date (each, a “Prepayment Offer Amount”) shall be offered by the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary to prepay (the “Prepayment Offer”) on a date (the “Prepayment Offer
Payment Date”) not less than 30 nor more than 60 days following the applicable Prepayment Trigger Date, to all Senior Unsecured Obligations on a pro rata basis, a maximum amount of Senior Unsecured Obligations, plus accrued and unpaid
interest thereon, if any, to the date of prepayment that may be prepaid with such Prepayment Offer Amount; provided, however, that if at any time any non-cash consideration (including any Designated Noncash Consideration) received by the
Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower, as the case may be, in connection with any Asset Sale is converted into or sold or otherwise disposed of for cash (other than interest received with respect to any such non-cash consideration),
then such conversion or disposition shall be deemed to constitute an Asset Sale hereunder and the Net Cash Proceeds thereof shall be applied in accordance with this Section 5.01(i). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Prepayment Offer Amount is less
than $15,000,000, the application of the Net Cash Proceeds constituting such Prepayment Offer Amount may be deferred until such time as such Prepayment Offer Amount plus the aggregate amount of all Prepayment Offer Amounts arising subsequent to the
Prepayment Trigger Date relating to such initial Prepayment Offer Amount from all Asset Sales by the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries aggregate at least $15,000,000, at which time the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary shall apply all
Net Cash Proceeds constituting all Prepayment Offer Amounts that have been so deferred to make a Prepayment Offer (the first date the aggregate of all such deferred Prepayment Offer Amounts is equal to $15,000,000 or more shall be deemed to be a
Prepayment Trigger Date). 
  
 Upon completion of any such
Prepayment Offer, the Prepayment Offer Amount shall be reset at zero. 
  
 All prepayments under this Section 5.01(i) shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid. 
  


 69 









 (j) Transactions with Affiliates. (i) The Borrower shall not, and shall not permit
any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, enter into or permit to occur any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property or the rendering of
any service) with, or for the benefit of, any of its Affiliates (an “Affiliate Transaction”), other than Affiliate Transactions on terms that are not materially less favorable than those that might reasonably have been
obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary; provided, however, that for an Affiliate Transaction with an aggregate value
of $7,500,000 or more, at the Borrower’s option, either: 
  
 (A) a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of the Borrower shall determine in good faith that such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable than those that
might reasonably have been obtained in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Borrower; or 
  
 (B) the Board of Directors of the Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary party to such Affiliate
Transaction shall obtain an opinion from a nationally recognized investment banking, appraisal or accounting firm that such Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are not materially less favorable than those that might reasonably have been obtained
in a comparable transaction at such time on an arm’s-length basis from a Person that is not an Affiliate of the Borrower; 
  
 (ii) The restrictions set forth in Section 5.01(j) shall not apply to: 
  
 (A) reasonable fees and compensation paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors,
employees or consultants of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower as determined in good faith by the Borrower’s Board of Directors or senior management; 
  
 (B) transactions exclusively between or among the Borrower and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries or
exclusively between or among such Restricted Subsidiaries, provided such transactions are not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement; 
  
 (C) any agreement as in effect as of the Closing Date or any amendment thereto or any transaction contemplated thereby (including pursuant
to any amendment thereto) in any replacement agreement thereto so long as any such amendment or replacement agreement is not more disadvantageous to the Lenders in any material respect than the original agreement as in effect on the Closing Date;

  
 (D) Restricted Payments or Permitted
Investments permitted by this Agreement; 
  

 70 









 (E) transactions effected as part of a Qualified Securitization Transaction; 

 
 (F) the payment of customary annual management,
consulting and advisory fees and related expenses to the Permitted Investors and their Affiliates made pursuant to any financial advisory, financing, underwriting or placement agreement or in respect of other investment banking activities,
including, without limitation, in connection with acquisitions or divestitures which are approved by the Board of Directors of the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary in good faith; 
  
 (G) payments or loans to employees or consultants that are approved by the Board of Directors of the
Borrower in good faith; 
  
 (H) sales of
Qualified Capital Stock; 
  
 (I) the existence
of, or the performance by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of its obligations under the terms of, any stockholders agreement (including any registration rights agreement or purchase agreement related thereto) to which it is a party
as of the Closing Date and any similar agreements which it may enter into thereafter; provided, however, that the existence of, or the performance by the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of obligations under, any future
amendment to any such existing agreement or under any similar agreement entered into after the Closing Date shall only be permitted by this clause (I) to the extent that the terms of any such amendment or new agreement are not disadvantageous to the
Lenders in any material respect; 
  
 (J) any
payments or transactions provided for in any of the Transaction Agreements; 
  
 (K) distributions to DEG Acquisitions provided for in the Tax Sharing Agreement; and 
  
 (L) distributions to DEG Acquisitions to pay administrative and other operating expenses in an aggregate amount not to exceed $500,000 per
fiscal year. 
  
 (k) Limitation on Liens. The Borrower
shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist any Liens of any kind against or upon any property or assets or any proceeds therefrom of the
Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries whether owned on the Closing Date or acquired after the Closing Date, in each case to secure Debt, unless: 
  
 (i) in the case of Liens securing Debt that is expressly subordinate or junior in right of payment to the Senior Unsecured Obligations,
the Senior Unsecured Obligations are secured by a Lien on such property, assets or proceeds that is senior in priority to such Liens; and 
  

 71 









 (ii) in all other cases, the Senior Unsecured Obligations are equally and ratably
secured, except for 
  
 (A) Liens existing as of
the Closing Date to the extent and in the manner such Liens are in effect on the Closing Date; 
  
 (B) Liens securing Debt and other obligations outstanding under the Credit Facilities to the extent permitted under Section 5.01(h);

  
 (C) Liens securing the Senior Unsecured
Obligations; 
  
 (D) Liens of the Borrower or a
Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower on assets of any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower; 
  
 (E) Liens securing Refinancing Debt which is incurred to Refinance any Debt that was secured by a Lien permitted under this Agreement and
that has been incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that such Liens do not extend to or cover any property or assets of the Borrower or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries not securing the Debt so
Refinanced; and 
  
 (F) Permitted Liens.

  
 (l) Corporate Existence. Subject to
Section 5.02, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each of its Restricted Subsidiaries, in accordance with the
respective organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Borrower or any such Restricted Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall
determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Borrower and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Lenders.

  
 (m) Offer to Prepay Upon Change of
Control. (i) If a Change of Control occurs, each Lender will have the right to require that the Borrower prepay all or a portion of the Senior Unsecured Obligations owing to such Lender pursuant to the offer described below (the
“Change of Control Offer”), in an amount equal to 101% of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Obligations owing to such Lender plus accrued interest to the date of prepayment. Within 90 days following the
date upon which the Change of Control occurred (or, at the Borrower’s option, prior to the occurrence of such Change of Control), the Borrower must send, by first class mail, a notice to each Lender, which notice shall govern the terms of the
Change of Control Offer. Such notice shall state, among other things, the prepayment date, which must be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, other 
  

 72 









 than as may be required by law (the “Change of Control Payment Date”) provided
that any change of Control Offer made prior to any date of such Change of Control shall be made only in the reasonable anticipation of such Change of Control; and provided further, that the Borrower shall not be required to prepay any Senior
Unsecured Obligations requested to be prepaid pursuant to such Change of Control Offer if such Change of Control does not occur. 
  
 (ii) On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Borrower shall, to the extent lawful, (1) prepay all Senior Unsecured Obligations or
portions thereof pursuant to the Change of Control Offer, (2) deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Senior Unsecured Obligations or portions thereof which have been requested to be
prepaid and (3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the Administrative Agent an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Senior Unsecured Obligations or portions thereof being prepaid by the Borrower. The Administrative
Agent shall promptly mail to each Lender requesting such prepayment the Change of Control Payment for such Lender’s Senior Unsecured Obligations, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly mail to each Lender, if applicable, a new Note equal
in principal amount to any unpaid portion of the Notes surrendered, if any. The Borrower shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date. 
  
 Prior to the mailing of the notice referred to in Section
5.01(m)(i) above, but in any event within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Borrower covenants to: (i) repay in full and terminate all commitments under all Debt under any Credit Facility the terms of which require repayment upon a Change
of Control; or (ii) obtain the requisite consents under such Credit Facilities to permit the prepayment of Senior Unsecured Obligations as provided below. The Borrower’s failure to comply with the covenant described in the immediately preceding
sentence shall constitute an Event of Default described in clause (c) and not in clause (b) under Section 6.01. 
  
 (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.01(m), the Borrower shall not be required to make a Change of Control
Offer upon a Change of Control, if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in this Section 5.01(m) and prepays Senior Unsecured Obligations owing to all
Lenders validly requesting prepayment under such Change of Control Offer. 
  
 (n) Future Guaranties by Wholly Owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiaries. Create or acquire another Wholly Owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiary unless such Wholly Owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiary executes and
delivers a Guaranty Supplement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, providing for a Guaranty of payment of the Senior Unsecured Obligations by such Wholly Owned Domestic Restricted Subsidiary on the terms set
forth herein. 
  
 (o) Limitation on Issuances
of Guaranties by Restricted Subsidiaries. The Borrower will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to guarantee any Debt of the Borrower that is pari passu with or subordinate in right of payment to the 
  

 74 









 Senior Unsecured Obligations (“Guaranteed Debt”), unless (i) such Restricted
Subsidiary simultaneously executes and delivers a supplemental indenture to this Agreement providing for a Guaranty on the same terms as set forth in this Agreement of payment of the Senior Unsecured Obligations by such Restricted Subsidiary and
(ii) to the extent permitted by law, such Restricted Subsidiary waives and agrees that it will not in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of any rights of reimbursement, indemnity or subrogation or any other rights against
the Borrower or any other Restricted Subsidiary as a result of any payment by such Restricted Subsidiary under its Guaranty; provided that this paragraph shall not be applicable to any guarantee of any Restricted Subsidiary that existed at
the time such Person became a Restricted Subsidiary and was not incurred in connection with, or in contemplation of, such Person becoming a Restricted Subsidiary. If the Guaranteed Debt is (A) pari passu with the Senior Unsecured Obligations, then
the guarantee of such Guaranteed Debt shall be pari passu with, or subordinated to, the Guaranty or (B) subordinated to the Senior Unsecured Obligations, then the guarantee of such Guaranteed Debt shall be subordinated to the Guaranty at least to
the extent that the Guaranteed Debt is subordinated to the Senior Unsecured Obligations. 
  
 SECTION 5.02. Successors. 
  
 (a) Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets. The Borrower shall not, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, consolidate or merge with or into any Person, or sell, assign, transfer, lease,
convey or otherwise dispose of (or cause or permit any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower to sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of) all or substantially all of the Borrower’s assets (determined on a consolidated basis
for the Borrower and the Borrower’s Restricted Subsidiaries) whether as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to any Person unless: 
  
 (i) either: 
  
 (A) the Borrower shall be the surviving or continuing corporation; or 
  
 (B) the Person (if other than the Borrower) formed by such consolidation or into which the Borrower is
merged or the Person which acquires by sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition the properties and assets of the Borrower and of the Borrower’s Restricted Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety (the
“Surviving Entity”): 
  
 (2) shall be a
corporation organized and validly existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia; and 
  
 (3) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture (in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), executed and delivered to the
Administrative Agent, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on all of the Senior Unsecured Obligations and the performance of every covenant of the Notes, this Agreement and the Registration Rights
Agreement on the part of the Borrower to be performed or observed; 
  

 74 









 (ii) except in the case of a merger of the Borrower with or into a Wholly Owned
Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower and except in the case of a merger entered into solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Borrower in another jurisdiction, immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated
by clause (1)(b)(y) above (including giving effect to any Debt and Acquired Debt incurred or anticipated to be incurred in connection with or in respect of such transaction), the Borrower or such Surviving Entity, as the case may be, shall be able
to incur at least $1.00 of additional Debt (other than Permitted Debt) pursuant to Section 5.01(h); 
  
 (iii) except in the case of a merger of the Borrower with or into a Wholly Owned Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower and except in the
case of a merger entered into solely for the purpose of reincorporating the Borrower in another jurisdiction, immediately after giving effect to such transaction and the assumption contemplated by clause (1)(b)(y) above (including, without
limitation, giving effect to any Debt and Acquired Debt incurred or anticipated to be incurred and any Lien granted or to be released in connection with or in respect of the transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be
continuing; and 
  
 (iv) the Borrower or the
Surviving Entity shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition and, if a
supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture comply with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and that all conditions precedent in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been
satisfied. 
  
 For purposes of the foregoing, the transfer (by
lease, assignment, sale or otherwise, in a single transaction or series of transactions) of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of one or more Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower the Capital Stock of which constitutes all or
substantially all of the properties and assets of the Borrower shall be deemed to be the transfer of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Borrower. However, transfer of assets between or among the Borrower and its Restricted
Subsidiaries will not be subject to this Section 5.02(a). 
  
 (b) Successor Corporation Substituted. Upon any consolidation, combination or merger, or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower in accordance with Section 5.02(a), in which the
Borrower is not the continuing corporation, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Borrower is merged or to which such conveyance, lease or transfer is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise
every right and power of, the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes with the same effect as if such surviving entity had been named as such and that, in the event of a conveyance, lease or transfer, the conveyor, lessor or 
  

 75 









 transferor will be released from the provisions of this Agreement; provided that the Borrower
shall not be released from its obligation to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Senior Unsecured Obligations in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of its property and assets. 
  
 ARTICLE VI 
  
 EVENTS OF DEFAULT 
  
 SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. “Events of
Default” are: 
  
 (a) the failure to
pay interest on any Senior Unsecured Obligations when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days; or 
  
 (b) the failure to pay the principal on any Senior Unsecured Obligations when such principal becomes due and payable, at maturity, upon
redemption or otherwise (including the failure to make a payment to Prepay Senior Unsecured Obligations accepted for prepayment pursuant to a Change of Control Offer or a Prepayment Offer on the date specified for such payment in the applicable
offer to purchase); or 
  
 (c) a default in the
observance or performance of any other covenant or agreement contained herein if the default continues for a period of 30 days after the Borrower receives written notice specifying the default (and demanding that such default be remedied) from the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders holding of at least 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Obligations (except in the case of a default with respect to Section 5.02(a), which will constitute an Event of Default with such
notice requirement but without such passage of time requirement); or 
  
 (d) the failure to pay at final stated maturity (giving effect to any applicable grace periods and any extensions thereof) the principal amount of any Debt of the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower
(other than a Securitization Entity) which failure continues for at least 20 days, or the acceleration of the final stated maturity of any such Debt, which acceleration remains uncured and unrescinded for at least 20 days, if the aggregate principal
amount of such Debt, together with the principal amount of any other such Debt in default for failure to pay principal at final maturity or which has been accelerated (in each case with respect to which the 20-day period described above has passed),
aggregates $25,000,000 or more at any time; or 
  
 (e) one or more judgments in an aggregate amount in excess of $25,000,000 shall have been rendered against the Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries and such judgments remain undischarged, unpaid or unstayed for a period of 60
days after such judgment or judgments become final and non-appealable; or 
  
 (f) the Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to or within the meaning of Bankruptcy Law: 
  
 (i) commences a voluntary case; 
  

 76 









 (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case;

  
 (iii) consents to the appointment of a
custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or 
  
 (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or 
  
 (g) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: 
  
 (i) is for relief against the Borrower or any of its
Significant Subsidiaries; 
  
 (ii) appoints a
custodian of the Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or for all or substantially all of the property of the Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; or 
  
 (iii) orders the liquidation of the Borrower or any of its Significant Subsidiaries; 
  
 and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for
60 consecutive days; or 
  
 (h) any Guaranty of a
Significant Subsidiary ceases to be in full force and effect or any Guaranty of a Significant Subsidiary is declared to be null and void and unenforceable or any Guaranty of a Significant Subsidiary is found to be invalid or any Guarantor that is a
Significant Subsidiary denies its liability under its Guaranty (other than by reason of release of a Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). 
  

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01 with respect
to the Borrower) occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders holding at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Senior Unsecured Obligations may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all the Senior
Unsecured Obligations to be due and payable immediately by notice in writing to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent specifying the applicable Event of Default and that it is a “notice of acceleration” (the “Acceleration
Notice”), and the same (i) shall become immediately due and payable or (ii) if there are any amounts outstanding under the New Credit Agreement, shall become immediately due and payable upon the first to occur of an acceleration under
the New Credit Agreement or five Business Days after receipt by the Borrower and the Representative under the New Credit Agreement of such Acceleration Notice but only if such Event of Default is then continuing. If an Event of Default specified in
clause (f) or (g) of Section 6.01 with respect to the Borrower occurs and is continuing, then all unpaid principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the outstanding Senior Unsecured Obligations shall ipso facto
become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender. 
  
 At any time after such declaration of acceleration, but before a judgment or decree for the payment of the money due has been obtained by the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders 
  

 77 









 holding at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Senior Unsecured Obligations by written notice to the
Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, may waive all past Defaults and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration and its consequences if (a) the Borrower has paid or deposited with the Administrative Agent a sum sufficient to pay (i) all
sums paid or advanced by the Administrative Agent hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel, (ii) all overdue interest on all Senior Unsecured Obligations,
(iii) the principal of and premium, if any, on any Senior Unsecured Obligations that have become due otherwise than by such declaration or occurrence of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate prescribed therefor under this Agreement, and (iv)
to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest, if any, at the rate prescribed therefor under this Agreement, (b) all existing Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of, premium, if any,
and accrued interest on the Senior Unsecured Obligations that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived and (c) the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction. 
  
 SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event
of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may and at the direction of the Lenders holding at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Senior Unsecured Obligations shall, pursue any available remedy to collect the
payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Senior Unsecured Obligations or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Notes or this Agreement. 
  
 The Administrative Agent may maintain a proceeding even if it does not hold any of the Senior Unsecured Obligations or does
not produce any of the Notes in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or
acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law. Every right and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Administrative Agent or to the Lenders may be exercised from time to time, and as often
as may be deemed expedient by the Administrative Agent or by the Lenders, as the case may be. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy. 
  
 SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past
Defaults. Subject to Sections 6.02, 6.07 and 9.01, Lenders holding not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Senior Unsecured Obligations by notice to the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of all Lenders,
waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, or interest on, the Senior Unsecured
Obligations (including in connection with an offer to prepay) or in respect of a covenant or provision of this Agreement which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Lender affected. Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease
to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  

 78 









 SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. Lenders holding a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Senior Unsecured Obligations may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the Administrative Agent or exercising any trust or power conferred on it. However, the Administrative
Agent may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Agreement that the Administrative Agent determines may be unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Lenders or that may involve the Administrative Agent in personal liability.

  
 In the event the Administrative Agent takes any action or
follows any direction pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to indemnification from the Borrower satisfactory to it in its sole discretion against any fees, loss, liability, cost or expense caused by taking such
action or following such direction. 
  
 SECTION 6.06.
Limitation on Suits. A Lender may pursue a remedy with respect to this Agreement or the Notes only if: 
  
 (a) the Lender gives to the Administrative Agent written notice of a continuing Event of Default; 
  
 (b) the Lenders holding at least 25% in principal amount of the then
outstanding Senior Unsecured Obligations make a written request to the Administrative Agent to pursue the remedy; 
  
 (c) such Lender or Lenders offer and, if requested, provide to the Administrative Agent indemnity satisfactory to the Administrative Agent against any
loss, liability or expense; 
  
 (d) the Administrative Agent does
not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity; and 
  
 (e) during such 60-day period the Lenders holding a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Senior Unsecured Obligations do not give the
Administrative Agent a direction inconsistent with the request. 
  
 A Lender may
not use this Agreement to prejudice the rights of another Lender or to obtain a preference or priority over another Lender. 
  
 SECTION 6.07. Rights of Lenders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right of any Lender to receive
payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Senior Unsecured Obligations, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Note or hereunder (including in connection with an offer to prepay), or to bring suit for the enforcement
of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Lender. 
  
 SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Administrative Agent. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a) or (b) occurs and is continuing, the
Administrative Agent is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Borrower for the whole amount of principal amount of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Senior Unsecured
Obligations and interest on overdue principal and, to the extent 
  

 79 









 lawful, interest and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel, and any amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 7.05 and 9.04. 
  
 SECTION 6.09. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. The
Administrative Agent is authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel) and the Lenders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Borrower (or any other obligor upon the Senior Unsecured Obligations), its creditors or its property
and shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments
to the Administrative Agent, and in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 7.05 and 9.04. To the extent that the payment of any such compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Administrative Agent, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 7.05 and 9.04 out of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be
secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the Lenders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or
arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Senior Unsecured Obligations or the rights of any Lender, or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 
  
 SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If the Administrative Agent collects any money pursuant to this Article, it shall pay out
the money in the following order: 
  
 First: to the Administrative Agent, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Sections 7.05 and 9.04, including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Administrative Agent
and the costs and expenses of collection; 
  
 Second: to Lenders for amounts due and unpaid on the Senior Unsecured Obligations for principal amount, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the
amounts due and payable on the Senior Unsecured Obligations for principal amount, premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and 
  
 Third: to the Borrower or to such party as a court of competent jurisdiction shall direct. 
  

 80 









 The Administrative Agent may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Lenders pursuant to
this Section 6.10; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall not affect the establishment of such record date or payment date or any payments to Lenders pursuant to this Section 6.10. 
  
 SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement
of any right or remedy under this Agreement or in any suit against the Administrative Agent for any action taken or omitted by it as the Administrative Agent, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or
defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Administrative Agent, a suit by a Lender pursuant to Section 6.07, or a suit by Lenders holding more than 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Senior
Unsecured Obligations. 
  
 SECTION 6.12. Restoration of Rights
and Remedies. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to
the Administrative Agent or to such Lender, then and in every case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions
hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted. 
  
 ARTICLE VII 
  
 THE AGENTS 
  
 SECTION 7.01. Authorization and Action. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as
are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation,
enforcement or collection of the Notes), no Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the
instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that no Agent shall be required to take any action that exposes such Agent to personal liability
or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. Each Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 7.02. Agents’ Reliance, Etc. Neither any Agent nor any of
their respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Without limitation of the generality of the 
  

 81 









 foregoing, each Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until, in the case of the Administrative
Agent, the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by the Lender that is the payee of such Note, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, or, in the case of any other Agent, such Agent has
received notice from the Administrative Agent that it has received and accepted such Assignment and Acceptance, in each case as provided in Section 9.07; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Loan Party), independent public
accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to
any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Loan Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the
performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of any Loan Party or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Loan Party; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for
the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any
other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, telecopy or
telex) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties. 
  
 SECTION 7.03. MSSF, CSFB and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitments, the Advances made by it and the Notes issued to it, each of MSSF and CSFB shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents
as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include MSSF and CSFB in their respective individual capacities. MSSF
and CSFB and their respective affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party, any of its
Subsidiaries and any Person that may do business with or own securities of any Loan Party or any such Subsidiary, all as if MSSF and CSFB were not Agents and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. 
  
 SECTION 7.04. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it
has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue
to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 7.05. Indemnification. (a) Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify each Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender’s ratable share (determined as
provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in

  

 82 









 any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under the Loan
Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to
reimburse each Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 9.04, to the extent that such Agent is not promptly
reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by
any Lender or any other Person. 
  
 (b) For purposes of this
Section 7.05, the Lenders’ respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Obligations outstanding at such time and owing to the respective Lenders.
The failure of any Lender to reimburse any Agent, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to such Agent, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to
reimburse such Agent, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse such Agent, for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival
of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this Section 7.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents. 
  
 SECTION 7.06. Successor Agents. Any Agent
may resign as to the Facility at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and may be removed as to the Facility at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the
Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent as to the Facility with the consent of the Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required if a Default has occurred or is continuing). If no
successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring
Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, with the consent of the Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld and which shall not be required if a Default has occurred or is continuing), appoint a successor Agent, which
shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least U.S.$250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent
as to the Facility, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the
Loan Documents. If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section 7.06 no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day
(a) the retiring Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective, (b) the retiring Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (c) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all
duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan 
  

 83 









 Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. After any
retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent shall have become effective, the provisions of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement.

  
 SECTION 7.07. The Syndication Agent. The Syndication
Agent shall not have any duty in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  
 ARTICLE VIII 
  
 GUARANTY

  
 SECTION 8.01. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability.
(a) Each Guarantor and the Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand
or otherwise, of all Obligations of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the
foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such obligations being the “Guaranteed
Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty or
any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability and the Borrower’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any
other Loan Party to any Lender under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party.

  
 (b) Each Guarantor and the Borrower, and by its acceptance of
this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent and each Lender, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes
of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the
foregoing intention, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Borrower and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the
Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
  
 (c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Lender under this
Guaranty or any other guaranty, such Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Guarantor and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Lenders under or in respect of
the Loan Documents. 
  

 84 









 SECTION 8.02. Guaranty Absolute. Each of the Guarantors and the Borrower, as the case may be,
guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights
of any Lender with respect thereto. The obligations of each Guarantor and the Borrower, as the case may be, under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any other Loan Party under or
in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor and the Borrower, as the case may be, to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the
Borrower or any other Loan Party or whether the Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each of the Guarantors under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of,
and each Guarantor and the Borrower, as the case may be, hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following: 
  
 (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating
thereto; 
  
 (b) any change in the time, manner
or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure
from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise; 
  
 (c) any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or
consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations; 
  
 (d) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

  
 (e) any failure of any Lender to disclose to
any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Lenders (each Guarantor and the Borrower waiving any
duty on the part of the Lenders to disclose such information); 
  
 (f) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Guaranty, any Guaranty Supplement or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor, the Borrower or other
guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or 
  
 (g) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations), except payment, or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Lender that might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety. 
  

 85 









 This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of
the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though
such payment had not been made. 
  
 SECTION 8.03. Waivers and
Acknowledgments. (a) Each of the Guarantors and the Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest
or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that any Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any
action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral. 
  
 (b) Each of the Guarantors and the Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether
existing now or in the future. 
  
 (c) Each of the Guarantors and
the Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Lender that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or the Borrower other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any
collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. 
  
 (d) Each of the Guarantors and the Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Lender to disclose to such Guarantor
or the Borrower any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Lender.

  
 (e) Each of the Guarantors and the Borrower acknowledges that
it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 8.02 and this Section 8.03 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

  
 SECTION 8.04. Subrogation. Each of the Guarantors and
the Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other inside guarantor that arise from the existence, payment,
performance or enforcement the Obligations of such Guarantor or the Borrower under or in respect of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or
indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Lender against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not 
  

 86 









 such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the
right to take or receive from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right,
unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, and the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor or the
Borrower, as the case may be, in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of (a) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, and (b) the
Termination Date, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders, shall be segregated from other property and funds of such Guarantor or the Borrower, as the case may be, and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to
the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or to be held as collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) any Guarantor or the Borrower, as the case may be, shall make payment
to any Lender of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, and (iii) the Termination Date shall have occurred, the
Lenders will, at such request and expense of such Guarantor, execute and deliver to such Guarantor or the Borrower, as the case may be, appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the
transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor or the Borrower, as the case may be, of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by such Guarantor or the Borrower, as the case may be, pursuant to this Guaranty.

  
 SECTION 8.05. Guaranty Supplements. Upon the execution
and delivery by any Person of a guaranty supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit F hereto (each, a “Guaranty Supplement”), (a) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Guarantor” and
shall become and be a Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Guaranty to a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and each reference in any other Loan Document to a
“Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and (b) each reference herein to “this Guaranty”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or
words of like import referring to this Guaranty, and each reference in any other Loan Document to the “Guaranty”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to
this Guaranty, shall mean and be a reference to this Guaranty as supplemented by such Guaranty Supplement. 
  
 SECTION 8.06. Continuing Guaranty; Assignments. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the

assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Lenders and their successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence, subject to Section 9.07, any Lender may
assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the Senior Unsecured 
  

 87 









 Obligations owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon
become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise, in each case as and to the extent provided in Section 9.07. Neither any Guarantor nor the Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder
or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders. 
  
 SECTION 8.07. Release of Guarantor. (a) In the event that all of the Capital Stock held by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in one or more Guarantors is sold or otherwise disposed of (except to the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries) or liquidated in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement (or such sale or other disposition or liquidation has been approved in writing by the Required Lenders) and the proceeds of such sale, disposition or
liquidation are applied as permitted or required by this Agreement, each such Guarantor or Guarantors shall be released from this Guaranty and this Guaranty shall, as to each such Guarantor or Guarantors, terminate and have no further force or
effect (it being understood and agreed that the sale of Capital Stock in one or more persons that own, directly or indirectly, all of such Capital Stock in any Guarantor shall be deemed to be a sale of such Capital Stock in such Guarantor for the
purposes of this Section 8.07). 
  
 (b) Upon the later of (i) the
payment in full in cash of all principal, interest and fees in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) the Termination Date, the guarantees granted pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall terminate. Upon any such
termination, the Administrative Agent will, at the applicable Guarantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor such documents as such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Senior Unsecured Obligations owing to such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under
this Agreement, (vii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such

covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). 
  

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with
each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no 
  

 92 









 responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan
Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or
any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by
any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial
statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are
delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by
the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender. 
  
 (d) The Administrative Agent shall, acting for this purpose (but only for this purpose) as the agent of the Borrower, maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment under the Facility of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a
Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
  
 (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning
Lender and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and approved as required by Section 9.07(a) and is in substantially the form of
Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and each other Agent. Any assignment of any Advance, whether or not
evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto. In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it under the Facility pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and,
if any assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder under the Facility, a new Note to the order of such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or 
  

 93 









 Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or
Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto. 
  
 (f) Each Lender may, without notice to or consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any
Loan Party or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Senior Unsecured Obligations owing to it and the Note or Notes
(if any) held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan
Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Senior Unsecured Obligations or any fees or other amounts payable
hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Senior Unsecured Obligations or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent
subject to such participation, or release all or substantially all of the Collateral. 
  
 (g) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant
any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to
preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information received by it from such Lender as set forth in Section 9.09. 
  
 (h) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its
rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Senior Unsecured Obligations owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System. 
  
 (i) In the case of any Lender that is a fund
that invests in bank loans, such Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, assign or pledge all or any portion of its Notes or any other instrument evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement to any
trustee for, or any other representative of, holders of obligations owed or securities issued, by such fund, as security for such obligations or securities; provided that any foreclosure or similar action by such trustee or representative
shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 9.07 concerning assignments.

 SECTION 9.08. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart
of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. 
  
 SECTION 9.09. Confidentiality. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the consent of
the Borrower, other than (a) to such Agent’s or such Lender’s Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors and to actual or prospective Eligible Assignees and participants, and then only on a confidential basis
as set forth in this Section 9.09, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process, (c) as requested or required by any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating such Lender (including the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners), (d) or to any direct or indirect contractual counterparty in any swap, hedge or similar agreement (or to any such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor), so long as such contractual counterparty (or such
professional advisor) agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 9.09 and (e) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality
of any Confidential Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender. 
  
 SECTION 9.10. Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York state court or
federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or
for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York state court or,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, in such federal court. The Borrower hereby agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding brought in any such New York state court or in such federal court may be made upon CT Corporation
System at its offices at 111 Eighth Avenue, 13th Floor, New York, New York 10011 (the “Process Agent”) and the Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Process Agent its authorized agent to accept such service of process, and
agrees that the failure of the Process Agent to give any notice of any such service shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon. The Borrower hereby further
irrevocably consents to the service of process in any action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties hereto by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address specified pursuant to Section
8.02. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Agreement
shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction. 
  
 (b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively
do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have 
  

 95 









 to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents to which it is a party in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or
proceeding in any such court. 
  
 SECTION 9.11. Governing
Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. 
  
 SECTION 9.12. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action,
proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to any of the Loan Documents, the Senior Unsecured Obligations or the actions of any Agent or any Lender in the negotiation, administration,
performance or enforcement thereof.
